"Fourth uncle, what do you mean?" Qian Ruoyun asked with a frown.
"You can't go with him. If your elder brother finds out that you are restless, you will be doomed." The tea shop steward said.
Qian Ruoyun was furious when he heard this and asked angrily: "I don't sell tea leaves, and I don't steal his meat to eat. Isn't this okay? Do you have to crush me to death and make me unable to succeed in my life?"
"Why…"
"Listen to your fourth uncle's advice, live a peaceful life, and don't ask for trouble."
The tea shop manager tried his best to persuade me.
"Too much bullying!" Qian Ruoyun was furious, and then his eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Since he won't give me a way, then I will fight my way out. The barefoot one is not afraid of the one who wears shoes. I don't know who can laugh. To the end.”
"You are just throwing an egg against a stone, and you are seeking destruction." said the tea shop steward.
"Destroy it, it's better than being locked in a cage and kept as a pet." Qian Ruoyun said harshly.
"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble to your mother?"
Qian Ruoyun's pupils trembled when he heard this. When he mentioned his mother, his firm eyes suddenly showed some hesitation and worry. Obviously, his mother was his biggest concern.
After a moment of silence, his eyes became firm again, and his voice was sonorous: "If I fail completely, then I will take my mother out of Paradise City. Even if she is begging on the street, I will not let her go hungry."
After saying that, he pushed the tea shop steward away and strode out.
"Qian Ruoyun, stop!"
"If you go out of this door today... door..."
The tea shop steward stopped awkwardly mid-sentence because Qian Ruoyun had disappeared from the door without looking back.
He stared at the empty door, his expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, this kid is a big threat to Ruohong, we must not give him a chance to gain momentum."
Obviously, what he said to persuade Qian Ruoyun was false, but it was true to help Qian Ruohong suppress Qian Ruoyun.
He refused to sell Fengjian'er and Bixuelan to Zhang Xiaozhu. His fundamental purpose was not to let Qian Ruoyun make friends with noble people through these two kinds of tea, and to deny Qian Ruoyun any chance of getting ahead.
Qian Ruoyun seems to be running around doing nothing these years. Only he who has been keeping an eye on Qian Ruoyun knows what Qian Ruoyun is busy with. If he hadn't been secretly using means to suppress Qian Ruoyun, Qian Ruoyun would have been killed long ago. Just make your own way.
So he knew Qian Ruoyun's ability very well, so he was afraid of him.
…
"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I wasted your time and feelings in vain. I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
In the carriage, Qian Ruoyun bowed and apologized to Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozhu waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Don't worry, I don't take this matter to heart, sit down and talk."
But Qian Ruoyun couldn't let it go, and still said with shame: "Last night at the wine table, I patted my chest and made promises, but it turned out that they were all empty talk and I let you down."
This is what he fears most, worried that Zhang Xiaopou will lose trust in him because of this incident.
"It's true that I'm a little disappointed, but you know what makes me still have a good impression of you and am I willing to give you a chance to make money?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"I don't know about this... I would like Mr. Zhang to clarify my doubts." Qian Ruoyun was also curious about this question. He was already in despair and never thought that Zhang Xiaopou would pay attention to him.
"What you said when you returned to the restaurant after we left last night and your weaknesses made me see one word in you - filial piety." Zhang Xiaozhu gave the answer.
Qian Ruoyun looked startled when he heard this. He recalled what he said when he returned to the restaurant after Zhang Xiaozhu and the four left last night, and his cheeks turned red. The word "filial piety" from Zhang Xiaozhu touched his heartstrings. It made his heart tremble suddenly.
He never expected that his image in Zhang Xiaozhu's heart was established by his filial piety towards his mother. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Zhang Xiaozhu did not buy tea and was not disappointed with him.
"Some people once threatened me with my mother, thinking that I was weak and easy to manipulate, but I ended up killing them all," Zhang Xiaozhu said.
When Qian Ruoyun heard this, his confidence doubled, his eyes became firm, and his words were sonorous: "I swear that I will stand out and make everyone in the Qian family look at me with admiration!"
Zhang Xiaozhu looked at Qian Ruoyun's firm and decisive expression, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He pointed at the soft cave opposite, motioned for Qian Ruoyun to sit down and talk, and then asked: "Do you want to get rich?"
"I've never dreamed of it!" Qian Ruoyun nodded without thinking.
"Can you make money by opening a Dan Pavilion in Paradise City?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"Of course!" Qian Ruoyun's eyes suddenly brightened, and his breathing became faster. He thought to himself: "Does he want to open an alchemy pavilion in Paradise City? Will he let me be the shopkeeper?! This is too... That’s awesome!”
"But it shouldn't be easy to drive, right? You've stolen the meat on someone else's plate." Zhang Xiaozu frowned.
"No!" Qian Ruoyun waved his hand and said, "Compared to other cities, it is easier to open a business in Paradise City because private fighting is strictly prohibited in the city. At least you don't have to worry about your competitors destroying your store or even killing someone to steal goods."
"Then you open one." Zhang Xiaopou said.
"This..." Qian Ruoyun's expression froze and he smiled bitterly: "How can I afford it?"
"The funds I will give you to open a store, well, to be more precise, you need to earn it yourself." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"It's not a problem to make money on my own, as long as Mr. Zhang shows me a way."
"Take a look at this thing." Zhang Xiaozu took out a piece of jade with nine functions and handed it to Qian Ruoyun.
Qian Ruoyun took the jade pendant and immediately showed a look of shock on his face, saying, "This is an incredible treasure."
"Well, the value is about five hundred Tongxuan Dan." Zhang Xiaozu nodded, "I will give you a thousand of these treasures, you can sell them, and then use the money from the sales to open the Dan Pavilion. Is that enough?"
Qian Ruoyun was stunned when he heard this. The number "one thousand" was too terrifying and beyond his understanding.
"A thousand pieces?" He was stunned for a while and still asked in disbelief.
"Yes, a thousand pieces." Zhang Xiaozhu nodded and confirmed, "This is a secret. I hope you can keep it for me, otherwise you will not be able to make a fortune and you will lose your head."
"Of course, I swear I will never tell anyone else, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die!" Qian Ruoyun immediately swore.
"Is a thousand pieces enough to open a Dan Pavilion?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"It should be enough." Qian Ruoyun said uncertainly, "I...I haven't opened it, and I haven't investigated it in detail, so I don't know very well, but if you give me some time, I will be able to investigate it soon."
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said: "Don't worry, you can go to various cities to investigate while selling the treasures. These treasures cannot be sold in one city, otherwise they will not be valuable and will arouse suspicion from others."
"I understand this." Qian Ruoyun said.
"I will send a strong man from the Holy Realm to help you and protect you at the same time. Don't think too much about it. It's either surveillance or simply helping and protecting you. Selling treasures everywhere with your cultivation level can easily lead to death. I'm still waiting. I want you to help me make a lot of money, but I can’t let you die easily." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Thank you!" Qian Ruoyun said gratefully.
Even if Zhang Xiaozu directly said that he would send someone to monitor him, he would not have any objection.
A thousand treasures were worth half a million Tongxuan Pills. He wouldn't think it was excessive if he sent a legion of people to monitor them day and night, let alone one person.
"Remember, the purpose of letting you open the Alchemy Pavilion in Paradise City is not to make you make money, and you shouldn't just think about making money."
"What do you mean?" Qian Ruoyun didn't understand.
"I want you to practice your skills and accumulate some experience in opening alchemy pavilions, and then open your eyes and think about how to open alchemy pavilions throughout Zhongyue."
"ah!"
"That's right, my goal is to open the Dan Pavilion to every city in Zhongyue, and you will be my pioneer and general manager."
"I...I..." Qian Ruoyun was stunned by the pie painted by Zhang Xiaozhu, and was so excited that he could not speak coherently.
"Are you confident?"
"have!"
Facing the powerful forces from all over the world, Zhang Xiaozu came up with the idea of creating a force to compete with them.
Because it is too tiring to rely on just a few of them to fight alone.
Some people died, but not completely...
